Mom’s Bible Reading Plan {free printable}

I know what you must be thinking…ugh, another Bible reading plan. But, hear me out. I have struggled for years to keep a consistent Bible reading schedule. I teach my children that they need to read their Bible daily, yet I can’t even commit to it. So what was I doing wrong? Why didn’t all those Bible studies I bought help? How come I didn’t stay consistent?

The Truth About Daily Bible Reading Plans

It isn’t that I don’t want to read God’s Word, but I have serious trouble sticking with a Bible study (of any kind) until the end. I get bored. Tired. And I lose interest.

Why?

Isn’t God’s Word still relevant?

Don’t I believe the entire Bible to be true?

After talking to my husband one day and setting up a Bible reading schedule for our oldest, I finally realized the issue! I was reading God’s Word according to other people and their “plan,” not His plan. The Bible is often referred to as His Story and it should be read as you would read a book. Cover to cover, start to finish. Yes, the whole Bible.

So why was I always jumping around and taking someone else’s word for what I should understand from a passage?

That’s when I decided to just start reading the Bible from start to finish. Pushing through Deuteronomy, I mean…let’s face it, that’s a tough book. But, God has so much to say in His Word and He wants us to read it all. Not just the parts that make a good Bible study or the bible books that sound good or even make us feel good.

ALL. OF. IT.

How to Make the Most of Daily Reading

I wanted to kick off this week of Mother’s Day posts with a Bible Reading Plan printable for you all. I want to encourage you to get into God’s Word. Read it from cover to cover. And don’t see this as just another new bible reading plan. It’s so much more!

I read the Proverbs of the day, which corresponds to the day of the month. On months with less than 31 days, I double up to make it work so that I read the entire book every month. Then, I read at least one chapter in the Old Testament and one in the New Testament. This may sound like a lot, but it’s really not. You end up feeding your spirit with much more than a simple bible verse and instead, using the day’s reading to tackle complete chapters and books of the bible.

But, don’t let those boundaries restrict you. If you feel God leading you to read more…read more! The point is to read with an open heart and mind so that you can hear God speaking through His Word.

Bible Reading Plan for Moms

I mentioned earlier that I created a bible reading plan for moms and I’d like to get into a bit more detail.

In this pack:

• Proverbs Monthly Reading Log
• Old Testament Reading Log
• New Testament Reading Log
• Blank Journaling pages to write whatever the Lord gives you

These logs are in the format of a bible reading chart, per se, and encourage you to read the word of God in its entirety through your own plan and consistent time. You’ll dive into Old Testament history followed by a chapter of the New Testament. It may seem like a lot of reading, but you can read at a slower pace or read more as you feel led. There are truly different ways that you can make this plan your own.

Use this reading plan in conjunction with a bible app, word studies, different topics, study journals, and the like. It’s genuinely a great way to move at your own pace through God’s word.

Final Thoughts

I love being able to write what the Lord brings to mind and see where the dots connect. It is amazing to see just how interconnected His Word really is!

Stay tuned this week for a special 5-day Mother’s Day Series! I can’t wait to share my heart with you all and encourage you in your Motherhood journey. If you want more motherhood encouragement, check out all the other Marriage & Motherhood posts.
